@IronBreloom there are tiers in fighting games to, but it's a little bit different then smogon's pokemon tiers. Smogon's tiers are based on mostly usage, while in fighting games, characters are ranked based how good they actually are, and tournament results.
It's even better in Sudden Death, when you're being Star KO'd and she bitchhammers you off the side of the screen right before you die. Best fuck-you ever. XD
@NatMage They are from a NES game from the 1980s, storylines and character biographies where not entirely common back then meaning that the answer could be just about anything since that was probably not even considered at the time of development.
idk what you're talking about.. ness and kirby are fine.
kirby has unbelievably high knockback in his attacks and more than decent priority
ness' only fault, as is in smash64 and brawl is his upB recovery.. of course there are gonna be faggots that try to flub you up. but other than that ness is just fine.
also to end my rant, no characters suck.. its the player.
tiers are based on actual evidence. and tourneys. that is LEGIT INFORMATION. and of course tiers exist. any half decent meta or snake will rape any bottom tier, guarunteed.
1. You just repeated what i stated on what tiers are. I didnt say they werent legit info, nor did I say they were fake. I simply stated they were numbers and statistics from tournaments to show matchups
2. I didnt say tiers dont exist, I said I dont believe in tiers.
3. Snake is nothing special, he just requires heavy mindgames and land control because of his outrageous power and knockback.
4. Yes Toon Link broken tier
5. Any shitty MK would rape anyone, teach them B attacks and they win
1. true. but you said that no characters suck. which is very wrong. pretty much the borrom 1/4th of the tier list sucks. its the player that makes them good, but the character themselves still sick
2. tiers are TRUE though. have you were seen a low tier win a major tourney? or even a character out of top/high winning a major tournament? i didnt think so
3. snake is amazing. he is ridiculous, only second to MK in the game.
5. HAHA YOU REALLY ARE FUNNY. what you said could be true...if the shield button didnt exist. however, it does. bait and punish? shield and punish? disjointed attacks through B moves? please. MK's B moves are the most overrated moves in the game
shields there but that doesnt mean it'll help especially if they spam neutral B.
all they gotta do is his neutral B, move away before it finishes then use again.
this game doesn't take much skill to play because of how ridiculously balanced it is. only thing i do admit it takes is mindgames but thats it.
say what you want toon link is broken. his attacks are fast and strong, his smashes are too strong for his own good, he's way too floaty and has a lot of pressure game.
if they spam B? you shield it and punish. about only 5% of all chars dont have a reliable move to counter it, and even if you do suck at counterint nado, you just shield and punish. if MK moves away GRAB or ATTACK. hes in freefall afterwards. tis not thard hard. TL has NOTHING on MK, snake, g&w, d3, falco, etc. TL is good, but hes not broken.
Every character has potential it just takes the right player to bring it out. Every character has faults but alongside those faults are strengths.
Saying tiers are true doesn't make me believe in them any harder. I acknowledge they are there, I don't follow them.
Again Snake is a powerhouse with land control, that is all.
I dont keep up to date with brawl because im not serious about it. I managed to beat some of the better players in casual play in hawaii using bowser jiggs ganon and IC
yes, i already said that good players can even made a bad character look good. however, a bad character is a bad character. it doesnt matter whos using the character, the character is still bad.
"im no pro with any of the brawl characters but i know i can play all of them and none of them are bad"
because of the games laid back style its hard for someone like me to take it seriously, so whenever i do play brawl i play everyone. course i have my favorites but i switch it up because staying as one person is boring.
even in melee i played more than one person because staying as one guy got boring.
sure i had my struggles with them but you know what it didnt take long to get the hang of it. i was able to learn every characters weight, speed, advantages, disadvantages, attack frames/length etc. and use that to my own advantage against other people in friendlies. yeah those 3 got nerfed, i admit it but you learn to deal with it and find new ways to play with them. thats what makes a good player
yea...some characters just dont have the right advantages to make them a godo character, ya know? a good player can transform any character int oa good combination, but the character itself is BAD
look we can keep going back and forth on this and i'll never waiver but the truth of the matter is we both feel very strongly about our sides of the topic. you'll just keep saying "the characters bad" i'll just keep saying "the players bad not the character" and it'll get us no where.
i dont see what makes a bad character in your PoV but to me what makes a bad character is someone who can NEVER win no matter how hard you try.. or someone who can NEVER lose.
ok... let me put it this way. in a major tourney, why do ONLY several select characters win? BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD
why do "bad" characters never win? if your theory is correct, then any character should be able to win efficiently. but as tourney results show, only select do. which indicates GOOD and BAD characters
your so called "good" characters win cause obviously the player was good
the so called "bad" characters as you put it dont win cause the players werent good enough obviously
i dont know what theory you're talking about either. you're putting way too much focus on the characters and not enough on the players. it just so happens the real good players just chose those characters, why? more than likely preference or fitting to their play style. or maybe they just like that character.
i remind you on what you know already that it is numbers and stats based on what was seen at tourneys to show match ups on who is supposed to be better than the other, in other words GUIDELINES not GUARANTEES.
what YOU'RE trying to tell me is the greatest player in the world would lose using a "low tier" character against someone brand spanking new to the game who doesn't understand the simple game mechanics who used a "high tier" character.
of course not. player skill does matter. however, in equal player skill, a higher tier character will PROBABLY win over a character on a lower tier. which seperates the good from the bad
Since you're talking about players of equal skill let me bring up the case of Ken and Isai.
Ken and Isai are pretty much on equal grounds yet Ken chooses the high tier Marth and Isai chooses the not-as-high tier C. Faclon. Isai still manages to pull his share of wins off Ken.
Also I'd like to point out that yes I know Ken was ranked higher than Isai but that doesn't excuse the fact Isai won against Ken as much as he lost against him.
wrong. ken > isai. by a long shot. Ken was the best melee player in the world, no contest, and isai didnt even get into MLG 2007 (pretty sure). and ken > isai for the most part. yes, isai can win maybe a couple of times but for the most part its ken. and its not even because of the charaacter. its also because ken > isai
Isai and Ken were on pretty much equal grounds. In the MLG New York Championship match, Isai and Ken played 10 games and each player won 5 games. Ken won only because Isai had been sent to the Loser's Bracket early on.
And kaimi, tiers do not matter as much as matchups do. It just so happens that Marth vs. CF is a rather notorious 50/50 matchup, and with each playing possessing relatively equal skill (although Isai is a lot sexier), of course isai would pull of his share of kills.
You don't know what they are nor what they are meant for, because the post you made before and the examples you attempted to produce are completely uninformed in every single way. Have a good day.
What more could they be used for other than statistics of character match ups from tourneys?
It's basically saying "person A is better than person B because person A has an apparent advantage over him in terms of range, speed, power and priority thus making person A the better pick against person B"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey kaimi I'm with you on this. Although match ups do exist it's all based on theory, eg marth has a disjointed hitbox and largest grab range in the game and thus should in theory pwn those without disjointed and small grab ranges but when we bring in characters like gojira and gimpy (two players who say f**k u to tiers) we see that match ups are well and truly ONLY theory.
and for those still not convinced that tiers are not absolute here are 2 words 'jigglypuff' and 'mango'
If tiers don't exist, how would you explain the two versions of Melee Sheik (PAL and NTSC), PAL being noticeably worse than NTSC Sheik compared to a relatively unchanged cast?
I'm sorry I don't fully understand your question RunsWithScissors. If you rephrase precisely what you mean I'd be happy to give my opinion.
My point to clarify was not questioning the existence of tiers but questioning those who view tiers as absolute melee law because a lot of it is theory. Mindgames for example could completely turn a match around even if both players were at similar skill levels.
Basically, what I'm saying is, take Sheik A (PAL) versus Sheik B (NTSC).
Compared to Sheik B, Sheik A's dthrow has too much of a horizontal send (meaning no chaingrab), and has less kill power in several moves.
This means that Sheik A has less tools to offer than Sheik B. The same player using Sheik A and Sheik B will get lesser results with Sheik A than Sheik B.
I don't think anybody seriously considers Melee tiers the law, all the good players know skill comes first by a lot.
OK yeah I see where you're coming from and yes if the SAME player were to use them then yes tiers would be law but it's the fact no two players are the same that prevents the tiers from being law and I'm glad that you understand my point.
Unfortunately there are actually people who think otherwise and my comments were in retaliation to their views, I guess it's because I'm an IC main and hate marth/fox scrubs who think they're better than everyone because they can play with a top tier char.
Uhm, in case you haven't noticed, the majority of Tourney smashers are WAAY better than the average smasher. So logically, taking statistics from tournaments is correct to form "Tiers."
How the heck is Toon Link broken? You can SDI and TDI out of the 2nd slash of his Fsmash. If he misses the 2nd slash, he has major lag time, allowing him to be severely punished. His Fair has terrible start up lag. And only kills at high%s. Dair? Sure it spikes/meteors but what if you miss? All those factors...
Along with his light weight, make for an easy kill for characters like Snake and Falco.
Yes player skill accounts for everything, but its just that if a high skill player picks a low tiered character while facing a low skill player using a high tiered character, the low tier will generally have a harder time fighting. Yes, there are pro low tiers like Rebaz and Taj, but the majority of pro low tiers to pro high is very unproportional. Its just that all the higher tiered characters have...
A higher potential to combo ("Brawl" Lol) and just better in all around usage. Of course play styles vary from region to region, but generally, the Highs are highs and the Lows are lows. There is no way for a game to create a seriously balanced game like smash without major redesign.

Also I'd like to point out that yes I know Ken was ranked higher than Isai but that doesn't excuse the fact Isai won against Ken as much as he lost against him.

wrong. ken > isai. by a long shot. Ken was the best melee player in the world, no contest, and isai didnt even get into MLG 2007 (pretty sure). and ken > isai for the most part. yes, isai can win maybe a couple of times but for the most part its ken. and its not even because of the charaacter. its also because ken > isai

Isai and Ken were on pretty much equal grounds. In the MLG New York Championship match, Isai and Ken played 10 games and each player won 5 games. Ken won only because Isai had been sent to the Loser's Bracket early on.
And kaimi, tiers do not matter as much as matchups do. It just so happens that Marth vs. CF is a rather notorious 50/50 matchup, and with each playing possessing relatively equal skill (although Isai is a lot sexier), of course isai would pull of his share of kills.

ken was undoubtly the best player in the world. isai is good, really good, like REALLY REALLY good, but not at ken, azen, and/or M2K level.

Like it matters, Isai never really took Melee seriously.
He's a god at SSB though.

This is wrong in so many ways.
Re-read what the tiers mean and are meant for so you don't look stupid.

Must I say it again? I DON'T BELIEVE IN TIERS

You don't know what they are nor what they are meant for, because the post you made before and the examples you attempted to produce are completely uninformed in every single way. Have a good day.

What more could they be used for other than statistics of character match ups from tourneys?
It's basically saying "person A is better than person B because person A has an apparent advantage over him in terms of range, speed, power and priority thus making person A the better pick against person B"

Hey kaimi I'm with you on this. Although match ups do exist it's all based on theory, eg marth has a disjointed hitbox and largest grab range in the game and thus should in theory pwn those without disjointed and small grab ranges but when we bring in characters like gojira and gimpy (two players who say f**k u to tiers) we see that match ups are well and truly ONLY theory.
and for those still not convinced that tiers are not absolute here are 2 words 'jigglypuff' and 'mango'

If tiers don't exist, how would you explain the two versions of Melee Sheik (PAL and NTSC), PAL being noticeably worse than NTSC Sheik compared to a relatively unchanged cast?

I'm sorry I don't fully understand your question RunsWithScissors. If you rephrase precisely what you mean I'd be happy to give my opinion.
My point to clarify was not questioning the existence of tiers but questioning those who view tiers as absolute melee law because a lot of it is theory. Mindgames for example could completely turn a match around even if both players were at similar skill levels.
schoin 2 years ago
Basically, what I'm saying is, take Sheik A (PAL) versus Sheik B (NTSC).
Compared to Sheik B, Sheik A's dthrow has too much of a horizontal send (meaning no chaingrab), and has less kill power in several moves.
This means that Sheik A has less tools to offer than Sheik B. The same player using Sheik A and Sheik B will get lesser results with Sheik A than Sheik B.
I don't think anybody seriously considers Melee tiers the law, all the good players know skill comes first by a lot.

OK yeah I see where you're coming from and yes if the SAME player were to use them then yes tiers would be law but it's the fact no two players are the same that prevents the tiers from being law and I'm glad that you understand my point.
Unfortunately there are actually people who think otherwise and my comments were in retaliation to their views, I guess it's because I'm an IC main and hate marth/fox scrubs who think they're better than everyone because they can play with a top tier char.

Uhm, in case you haven't noticed, the majority of Tourney smashers are WAAY better than the average smasher. So logically, taking statistics from tournaments is correct to form "Tiers."
How the heck is Toon Link broken? You can SDI and TDI out of the 2nd slash of his Fsmash. If he misses the 2nd slash, he has major lag time, allowing him to be severely punished. His Fair has terrible start up lag. And only kills at high%s. Dair? Sure it spikes/meteors but what if you miss? All those factors...

Along with his light weight, make for an easy kill for characters like Snake and Falco.
Yes player skill accounts for everything, but its just that if a high skill player picks a low tiered character while facing a low skill player using a high tiered character, the low tier will generally have a harder time fighting. Yes, there are pro low tiers like Rebaz and Taj, but the majority of pro low tiers to pro high is very unproportional. Its just that all the higher tiered characters have...

A higher potential to combo ("Brawl" Lol) and just better in all around usage. Of course play styles vary from region to region, but generally, the Highs are highs and the Lows are lows. There is no way for a game to create a seriously balanced game like smash without major redesign.
